In a major blow to summer travel plans, more than 12,000 flights across Europe could be cancelled daily as air traffic controllers at Eurocontrol, the European air traffic management body, have announced plans to go on strike. The strikes are expected to impact around a third of all European flights, potentially causing significant disruption for British holidaymakers.

While the exact dates of the strikes have yet to be confirmed, concerns are mounting that the dates may be strategically chosen to maximize the impact on travel, further jeopardizing vacation plans. Industry insiders warn that in the event of a full-scale strike, delays could affect at least 20 to 30 per cent of flights, indicating the magnitude of the potential disruption.
